It’s great to have so many brilliant friends, but it would be a bit better if you were a little less patient. Monsur finally broke down and emailed me to remind me that I hadn’t told Bloglet about my change in blogging tool. Poor Bloglet (and, seriously, poor 14 people who have subscribed to my […]
Thanks to a blessedly bad memory, I had forgotten about the next archive-related problem with AKMA’a markover: permalinks. XHTML requires that, rather than using <a name=”<$BlogItemNumber$>”> for a permalink, you must use an id attribute, which may not start with a digit. Something along the lines of <a id=”pl<$BlogItemNumber$>”> will do nicely. For someone who […]
There’s a reason why I’m not likely to ever stop supporting Blogger users.
If you have YACCS comments from a Blogger-powered blog that you would like to import into Movable Type (and if your server runs PHP, since I don’t have Perl version of the script written yet), read on…

How could blogrolling be a noun? That list of links over on the side? That’s a blogroll. Blogrolling is link […]
CNN.com – Blogs take Web diaries to the next level: “So, my favorite — the one I go to every day… is a site called Slash.com” Really? Every single day you visit a site that hosts the personal pages of elementary school students in Regina, Saskatchewan? That’s not the sort of thing I’d admit on […]
I do believe I’ve found my place in the University of Blogaria. Professor Salo of the Linguistics Department is working on a remake of Chaplain AKMA‘s Blogger template, and was in need of a roadmap to Blogger’s template tags, and I’m her dusty citation! I hereby nominate myself for the position of Battered Reference Book […]
Attention blogging toolmakers who want to do a smart convert breaks (Marcus, I think that’s you and only you): One more to add to the list of things where you shouldn’t convert line breaks to <br> or <br />: <pre> through </pre>
